A comb adjustment for point of impact is a simple, yet effective, technique for changing the trajectory of a shot. A shim system or cast-off is one way to adjust the height of the comb. Different adjustments might be needed depending on what the results are. This article will present three methods to adjust point of impactcomb. We'll also cover a simple, yet effective, casting-off method.
Use a shim to raise or lower the comb
It is easy to adjust the impact point on a shotgun by raising or lowering the comb. To raise the head of the comb, you need to first loosen the bolt and insert a shhim. You can then insert a thin piece of shim (e.g. a flat, wood toothpick). Another option is to use an adhesive-backed moleskin.
You must determine if the shim system will increase or decrease the stock height before you use it. Shim kits are available for this purpose, and they can be used for several adjustments. A shim kit can raise the comb by one inch at a time. Another way to adjust the height and cast of your comb is with a recoil pad.
Using a cast-off
Changing the point of impact of your rifle is a simple process that requires proper compass height. Aim your rifle at a distant target to set the correct comb height. The target should lie approximately 16 feet away. Once you have set the proper compass height, adjust the cast of your gun. If your rifle's point of impact is too high or low, raise the comb 1/8 inch. To compensate for shooting to the left or right, raise your comb one inch and adjust the cast. A sheet test can be used to verify the correct shooting position.
Cast-off comb adjustments are a common feature on many new shotguns. Cast-off or angled combs can be used to adjust the angle of your point, or vice versa, depending on how the shooter is shaped. Cast-off combs can be especially helpful for right-handers who have large chests or wide-spaced eyes. The cast-off comb can also be combined with a cast on gun.
Using a Figure 8
It is possible to adjust your point-of -impact comb adjustment using a fig 8, but it does have its drawbacks. First, adjust your sight image. If you adjust your comb to the center of the figure-8, you won't see a significant difference in your POI. Second, your eye must be moved.

How many Americans depend on hunting?
The United States is home to more than 300 million hunters. This means that hunters are twice as numerous as those who live in New York City.
Hunting is a American pastime which dates back to centuries. But today, fewer Americans hunt for sport than ever before. According to the U.S. Only 2 percent of Americans hunt regularly, according to Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS). The percentage of young adults hunting is even lower.
But while hunting may seem like a relic of another time, it remains popular among older generations. Recent research found that 68% of boomers plan on hunting again when they retire. Hunting is a way for them to connect with the natural world and enjoy the outdoors.
For younger generations, however hunting isn’t necessarily a priority. In fact, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, only 18 percent of millennials consider themselves avid shooters.
FWS has been working hard to preserve America's wilderness places for everyone to enjoy.
To raise awareness about public lands in the country, the agency launched the "Wild Lands” campaign in 2014. The goal is to educate people about the importance of preserving these areas and encourage them to visit them.
Conservation efforts are also encouraged through the Wild Lands Program. FWS and National Rifle Association have partnered to create Project Gunter, a youth shooting sport program. This program teaches kids how firearms can be safely handled and helps them to develop skills such safety and marksmanship.
Project Gunter is now expanding to women and minorities. As a result, more children are learning how to shoot guns and become active participants in wildlife conservation.
What is the cost of hunting?
Hunting trips can be expensive depending on where you live, what type of wildlife is being targeted, and how big the animal that you are hunting.
In general, a two-person hunting party will cost between $500-$1,000 per head. This includes accommodation, food, gas, equipment, licenses, etc.
There are some areas that charge more than others. If you plan to hunt during peak seasons, such as fall turkey season, expect to pay even more.
